Fate Points Economy: Players spend Fate Points to invoke aspects for bonuses or compel aspects for story complications, giving them narrative control.
Genre-Agnostic System: Run any setting from high fantasy to hard sci-fi, pulp noir to superhero adventures—Fate adapts to your vision.
Collaborative Storytelling: Players and GMs share narrative authority, creating stories together rather than following predetermined plots.
Minimal Prep Required: Create characters in minutes, improvise settings on the fly, and let the story emerge from play.
FUDGE Dice Simplicity: Roll four special dice showing +, -, or blank faces—simple math, maximum drama.
Flexible Difficulty: Scale challenges to match your group's preferred tone from gritty realism to cinematic heroics.
Open License: Fate is available under Creative Commons, with extensive community content and third-party support.
Whether you're a narrative-focused group tired of crunchy mechanics, a GM seeking ultimate flexibility, players who want story control, or anyone looking for a system that works for any genre without conversion, Fate delivers elegant rules that get out of the way and let you tell amazing stories.
